SPONTANEOUS RESOLUTION OF ANTENATALY DIAGNOSED COMPLEX OVARIAN CYST - A FOLLOW UP SONOGRAPHIC STUDY

A congenital ovarian cyst in feto-neonatal stage is a rare condition. New advanced Ultrasonography technique increased the incidences. Though benign, large cyst and complex cysts may require surgical management. We followed one case of complex feto-neonatal ovarian cyst till complete resolution. INTRODUCTION: A congenital ovarian cyst is a rare condition which can be diagnosed during antenatal ultrasonography. In recent years fetal ovarian cysts are diagnosed more frequently because of improved prenatal sonographic techniques. Although rare it is the most common cystic masses in abdomen of female fetus and neonates. These are benign, functional cysts which result from enlargement of normal follicles during third trimester or early neonatal period. Since most of them follow a benign course, they have an excellent prognosis especially if the cyst is isolated, unilateral, and unilocular. However, large cysts and complex cysts may require active management. Here we report a case of complex feto-neonatal ovarian cyst with spontaneous resolution
